No, I don't mean THAT wait...... I mean my washer and dryer! I think... I just started my first load. But apparently in Sear's/Kenmore world, Wednesday is the new Saturday... These were supposed to be delivered on Saturday like I angrily planned. On Tuesday night when I told Matt that no, I wasn't looking at the Washer and Dryer because the people never showed up, he called them from GUAM and they told him delivery was set up for the next day.... WHAT??? Did anyone call me to ask if it was ok to change my delivery date?? No, they didn't. but I was so tired of dealing with them I accepted. How cute my washer and dryer are. They make the neatest little dinging noise when you turn them on. Mona and I both watched our first load for a few minuters, me bc I had nothing else to do, Mona because she wasn't sure where that odd noise was coming from!
Just discovered a John Mayer cover of the song Freefallin by Tom Petty. It's really really good. (even though I'm not too sure if I like Mr. Mayer) you should check it out.
Happy Friday!

Budgeting
Who knew it could be so hard. Since Matt and I are saving for a down payment for a home, we are trying to put everything we can into savings. Matt has been saving for a long time, me not so long! So I am trying to make myself a budget to stick to that way I will know how much I can put away each month. Aside from not really knowing how to make one, Marti Stewart decided to put the sheets we registered for on sale for $85 off. (sale ending today)... I mean seriously how could I pass that up?? I HAD to get new sheets to go with the Marti Stewart comforter coverlet that I got for a steal. Perhaps budgeting isn't my problem. It possibly could be that I LOVE LOVE LOVE to buy things. In my defense though, I rarely every buy anything for full price. And since my husband is out to sea, I couldn't call him and have him talk me out of buying the sheets. I called my mother and she was at a baby shower. I took that as a sign to buy! I also ignored the sign that they were out of my size which lead me to call a Macy's in Tacoma and have them hold the set for me. Ok. Back to the budget.
I have already worked out how much I spend on bills, gas, food, etc. I can't decide if it would be easier to say have an envelope labeled food and put my money for the month in there and do the same w/the misc money, or would it be easiest to just keep spending (wisely though) and then put whatever I can into savings for that month???? I have no idea. What do y'all think?? Any good ideas??

Information Express
Wow does word travel fast down the Whitehorn Lightening Bolt. So fast that I think if half of the fam could move to New York City and the other half to Los Angeles we could make a pretty good life for ourselves as the paparazzo. I mean we could really give People and US Weekly a run for their money.
Thats all for now. My mind is tired from trying to figure out how 20 days ago I orderd a washer and dryer and have yet to have them. Word on the street is I should be getting them Tuesday.

Customer Service
My first blog..... What a moment! So bear with me..........
What ever happened to the good old days? When a simple handshake from a man was as good as a signed, notarized, contract. I don't think I remember these times, but I have been brought up to rely on a little thing called customer service. I can't tell you how many times in the last month, I have dealt with people that put the incompotent in customer service. As you know (the zero readers that I have) Matt is out to sea, so I am left to work, grieve Matt's absence, and handle anything that needs handling. A few weeks before he left, we bought an LG Steam Washer and Dryer. Knowing that this was a special order, I expected it to take a week or so to get here. 18 days later and 3 different people lying to me, and 4 different delivery dates, I still don't have it. Today I was even hung up on when I asked to speak to the lady's supervisor. I am seriously about to have a stroke waiting for these things to get here. Thank you Sears for offering me a $50 gift card, it won't come close to paying for the years you have taken off of my life for the unnatural surge in blood pressure.
On a lighter note, I only crashed one patient into the wall today while driving their bed. I also narrowly escaped being squashed by a 417lb man. I guess when I look at what could have happened today, going without clean clothes for another week might not be so bad.
